Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1475 - 1036: Truly... Learned Something New_2
Reiger pointed in the opposite direction again with a wave of his hand.
"Bang!"
Yarad’s body suddenly flew uncontrollably, howling as it smashed into the wall on the other side, shattering it.
"Bang——Bang——Bang——Bang——Bang——"
As Reiger sat in the armchair, waving his hand lightly like a conductor, Yarad’s uncontrolled body flew around the room like a ball, crashing into the walls, floor, and ceiling repeatedly, shattering them.
Numerous stone and wood debris began to fly around the room, and the expensive furniture was also smashed to pieces, scattering in the air, falling everywhere.
"Oh... Oooooooo...!"
Yarad, who was being played with wantonly, finally had the chance to react, roaring as his body erupted with torrents of Magic Power, forcibly controlling his erratic form and resisting the strong gravity as he rushed toward Reiger.
He roared as he drew the sword from his waist, raising it high above his head, and chopped down heavily at Reiger sitting in the armchair.
This strike came with a lightning momentum, and as the sword descended, sonic booms exploded continuously around its blade, its power astonishing.
If this chop landed, let alone a human body, even the entire floor would be shattered, making Reiger fall into the lower floors even if he blocked it.
Yarad calculated carefully that as long as this strike landed, regardless of whether Reiger blocked it or not, the floor couldn’t withstand his power and would certainly be shattered.
By then, he could escape by falling into the lower floors.
Unfortunately, the imagination was good, but reality was cruel.
"————"
As the thunderous strike fell, almost hitting Reiger, Yarad’s sword stopped inches in front of Reiger’s forehead, unable to move further.
"What?"
Yarad’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what he saw.
Reiger, meanwhile, remained with one hand supporting his face, indifferently watching Yarad’s efforts, and lightly made a grasping motion with his outstretched hand.
Instantly, all the flying stones, wood debris, and furniture fragments seemed to be pulled by gravity and suddenly flew towards Yarad.
They collided with Yarad as if attracted by a magnet, piling up endlessly until they completely buried Yarad’s body, forming a chaotic sphere that completely sealed Yarad.
Reiger raised his hand, and the chaotic sphere burying Yarad immediately flew upwards, ignoring his struggles, directly into the air of the room.
Then Melo and Naisa made their move.
"Swoosh!"
With a flicker of her figure, Melo’s sword glided with a cold gleam, directly severing Yarad’s hand that wasn’t buried by debris.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Not giving Yarad the chance to scream in agony, Naisa’s magic also activated, multiple meteor-like beams flew out one after another, bombarding the chaotic sphere in the air, blasting it apart on the spot.
Yarad’s body, now missing both hands, was continuously bombarded by the light-element Magic, stripping away patches of flesh, and blood splattered everywhere, while his skin was burned, turning charred and necrotic.
But when he fell to the ground amid the light explosions, he unexpectedly dragged his broken body, crazily charging at Reiger once more.
"If I die, you won’t have an easy time!"
Yarad roared in fury, his body spraying out Magic Power that became increasingly violent.
His body swelled like a balloon, with blood inside him frantically agitating, expanding larger and larger while emanating an extremely dangerous aura.
"Not good! He’s using Magic Power to make his blood run wild!"
"He’s planning to self-destruct!"
Melo and Naisa’s expressions changed.
Self-destruction.
For life in the Source World, this was no laughing matter.
Because they were born with universally powerful Magic Power, as long as the Magic Power was strong enough, even instinctively they could use it to temper their body, enhancing their physical abilities.
For them, every cell in their body was indistinguishable from the Magic Power coursing through them. As soon as Magic Power ran wild, blood would run wild too, causing growth of blood energy until the body is exploded by the chaotic Magic Power and blood energy, turning it into pure destructive force, engulfing everything nearby.
This is a method that can only be used at the Crystal-rank, which is only available at Level 7.
The Sword Saints of Akasha Continent can actually achieve this too, although their battle-hardened bodies rely more on sword skills for active tempering, unlike inhabitants of the Source World who can achieve it instinctively, resulting in a less tight connection between the body and Magic Power than in this world. Hence, they can’t do this kind of thing.
Being only one step away from being a Saint, Yarad was almost standing at the peak even in the Amber-rank.
Someone like him naturally had the knack for self-destruction.
Unfortunately...
"Still able to self-destruct?"
Reiger seemed to have opened his eyes to the world, and seeing Yarad charging at him, he actually smiled.
"Turns out what’s written in novels isn’t all fake, huh?"
"Truly... enlightening."
As he spoke, Reiger pointed with his hand.
[Azure] activated immediately, causing Yarad’s swelling body to fly faster towards Reiger, arriving right in front of him.
Reiger’s outstretched finger happened to point at Yarad’s forehead.
At that moment, Yarad’s expanding body suddenly halted, then rapidly deflated and returned to normal at a visibly rapid speed.
"Impossible!"
Yarad was stunned.
He realized that when Reiger’s finger pointed at his forehead, his blood seemed to be controlled by an inexplicable force and rapidly organized.
The chaotic blood flow quickly returned to normal, and the chaotic Magic Power seemed to be separated from his body; no matter how chaotic it was, it could no longer affect Yarad’s body.
"How can this be? How can this be...?!"
Yarad looked at Reiger with unbelievable disbelief.
"What’s impossible?" Reiger maintained the posture of pointing at his forehead, tilting his head and said, "Since you want to make blood energy run wild and self-destruct, then if I control your blood flow, wouldn’t you be unable to self-destruct?"
For Reiger who mastered [Red Blood Manipulation], this was not difficult at all.
"Not to mention controlling blood, even your soul, at this moment, has already become my property, completely controlled by me."
"How about it?"
"Want to give it a try?"
Clearly a savior, but at this moment the words Reiger said sounded to Yarad no different from a demon’s grin.
Yarad desperately wanted to struggle, wanted to resist, and even wanted to continue attacking Reiger.
But he realized, after Reiger’s finger pressed against his forehead, everything about him was no longer within his control.
Whether it was blood, Magic Power, or even his body, they no longer belonged to him.
He watched helplessly as his muscles rapidly atrophied, his body’s strength completely disappeared, and internally everything became chaotic, with his internal organs twisted into grotesque shapes, losing their original form.
At this point, he could not be called human at all.
"[Lifeless Transformation]."
The voice of the savior, sounding like a demon’s grin, entered his ears once again.
"Although you finally chose death, I will spare your life for your potential usefulness."
"Be thankful, you’ll live."
"But exactly how to live is not something you can decide."
With these words spoken, Yarad’s mind was invaded.
"[Memory Manipulation]."
And thus, Yarad lost consciousness.
